Oh my Slavers! - Dead Water

[TheBladeRoden]

There's too many of them! Some tips would be appreciated.
Hope the replay works for you, it doesn't work for me

Spoiler:

Patience. Let them enter the water, rather than fighting them in the swamp or on the sand.
Cannonfodder. Those citizens are cheap and deflect the attacks, allowing your other units to counterattack or heal. A couple of them can go north to capture villages.
Heed the time of day.
As for calling for the slaves to rebel, it is probably best to do so at dawn (but not the first dawn). After they are summoned, it is time to be more aggressive.

It is a difficult scenario, but much of this campaign is such.

The replay doesn't work for me either, so I can't give you much advice, but how you handle this level depends a lot on your recall list. If you're still stuck, I would suggest replaying the earlier scenarios focusing on leveling initiates to mermaid enchantresses. Saurians are weak to impact damage, and magical impact is better. The last time I played I was on the hardest difficulty, but I had five enchantresses along with a couple netcasters and four brawlers for more impact damage. (I only had one extra priestess for healing duties.)
